GENEEAL VIEW 

OF THE 



CITY OF NEW YORK. 



New Yoek, the capital of the County of the same 
name, — the commercial metropolis and most popu- 
lous city of the Western World, and one of the 
largest cities on the face of the globe, — is situated 
en the island of Manhattan, at tlie mouth of the 
Hudson river. The island of Manhattan (which 
name, in the Indian language, means " the place of 
drunkenness,") was discovered on the 12th of Sept. 
1609, by Henry Hudson, an English navigator, 
but. at that time, in the service of the Dutch East 
India Company. A Dutch colony was soon estab- 
lished on the southern extremity of the island, 
receiving the title of New Amsterdam ; which 
name it kept until 1664, when it was changed to 
the name of New York, in honor of the Duke of 
York, to whom the whole territory occupied by 
the Dutch in America was granted by his brother, 
Charles II. 

The limits of our little book would not permit 
our entering into a minute description of the growth 
of the Empire City, from its infancy up to the pres- 
ent time, — such details we shall leave for history to 
enumerate ; and, passing over what every one 
knows, or is supposed to know, we shall content 
ourselves with placing before the visitor that kind 
of information which is ever necessary to a stranger, 
in order to render his sojourn at once advantageous 
and agreeable in such a metropolis as New York. 
The early progress of the city was perhaps not more 
slow than in later years, since we see that, in 1656, 



it contained some 120 houses and 1000 inhabitants. 
Under the British rule, very little advance was 
made for several years ; but the iron rod of tyranny 
was most sensibly felt in the prohibition "of the 
establishment of a newspaper in the colony. Such 
was the act with wliich James II. inaugurated his 
accession to the throne of England in 1G85. The 
progress of the city was comparatively rapid for 
the remainder of tlie century ; and, with the com- 
mencement of the 18th, the real prosperity of New 
York began. Most of the principal streets were 
paved about 1703. The first school was opened in 
1705; and, twenty years later, the first newspaper 
was published, the "New-York Gazette," which, 
e'ght years afterwards, in 1733, was followed by 
its political rival, the "Weekly Journal." These 
events may be regarded as the starting-point of the 
future develoi.ment of the Imperial City, both as to 
commerce and the diffusion of knowledge amongst 
the people. In 1729, the city received from Eng- 
land that best of all channels for the flow of intel- 
lectual light — a Public Library — composed of more 
than 1,600 volumes; a public Classical Academy 
was founded about the same time ; and we see that, 
while learning was being genei-alized in the cohmy, 
mercantile interests were not forgotten, notwith- 
standing the severe trials of fire, pestilence, and 
insurrection through which the young city had to 
pass, in 1741 and 1743. Two hundred ships, laden 
principally with flour and grain, sailed, in 1750, 
from the port of New York : five years later, expor- 
tations had doubled ; and commerce continued 
flourishing, in the same proportion, until the final 
rupture of the friendly relations between the Amer- 
ican colonies and the mother country. 

A Congress of delegates assembled in New York 
in 1765, to prepare a declaration of their rights and 
grievances: the public mind was raised to the 
highest pitch of excitement, by the passing, in 1765, 
of the celebrated Stamp Act, which was immedi- 
ately followed by an agreement, on the part of the 



colonial merchants, against the importation of all 
descriptions of merchandise : the "' Sons of Liberty " 
were organized to oppose the Act; and the gover- 
nor was burned in effigy. During the eiuht years 
of war that ensued, the inhabitants of New York 
saw their city occupied by the British troops, their 
public edifices converted into prisons and stables, 
and about 500 houses laid in jishes, by a fearful firo 
(1776), supposed to have been the work of an in- 
cendiary. Finally, liowever, the Republic was, by 
the patriotic perseverance of her sons, freed from 
the British yoke ; and on the 25th of Nov. 1783, the 
English troops evacuated the city for ever. The 
day is still annually celebrated in New York with a 
magnificent military turn-out, becoming the anni- 
versary of so memorable and happy an event. 

The population of the city, which had now 
reached 22,000, became doubled in the course of 
the ten years following. 

In spite of another destructive fire, which, in 1778, 
destroyed 300 buildings, and of tlie large number 
of victims carried off, in 1791, by yellow fever, the 
city had incn^ased considerably the number of its 
buildings, and doubled its population, in the ten 
years following the war of Independence. 

Notwithstanding the disasters already referred to, 
New York continued to prosper ; and each succes- 
sive calamity, so far from checking or retarding her 
growth, seemed, on the contrary, to lend new vigor 
to the active spirit of her enterprising sons. The 
rapid development of her maritime resources had 
alread}- become the admiration of the Avorld. Her 
commerce extended to every nation ; and her ships 
were found in every sea. Inland navigation, too, 
received considerable impulse by the opening of 
the Erie canal, completed in 1825, and afterwards 
enlarged ; the whole cost amounting to about 
$40,000,000. 

The history of cities, like that of nations, has its 
gloomy as well as its bright pages. In 1832, the 
inhabitants of New York were decimated by Asiatic 



6 

Cholera — 4,000 persons falling victims to its rav- 
ages; in 1835, about 600 buildings were destroyed 
by fire, in a single niglit, the estimated L ss of prop- 
erty being $20,000,000 ; and as, with undaunted en- 
ergy, the city was rising anew from out its ashes, the 
financial crisis of 1837 burst upon her, spreading 
bankruptcy all around. The check produced by 
these calamities was, however, of no serious nature, 
and, in proof of that, we observe an increase of 
more than fifty per cent, in the population of the 
city from 1830 to 1840. The introduction of the 
Croton water, in 1842, added very considerably to 
the comfort and convenience of the inhabitants of 
New York. Several times has cholera made its ap- 
pearance in the city ; but the most fatal visits of 
that dreadful emissary of Death were those of 1882 
and 1849, in the first of which it carried off nearly 
4,000 persons, and in the second more than 5,000. 
We shall notice but two more of the most de- 
plorable disasters, by fire, suffered by New York 
during the present century : one was in 1845, when 
$5,000,000 worth of property was devoured by the 
flames; and the other, in 1858, resulting in the to- 
tal destruction of the New York Exhibition Build- 
ing, a magnificent Crystal Palace, in the form of a 
Greek cross, measuring 865^ feet in diameter in 
every direction, with galleries, and a dome 123 feet 
high, and 100 feet wide ; the flooring covered 5^ 
acres. The edifice was entirely of glass and iron. 
Another financial crisis came in 1857, but, though it 
caused a temporary check to the commercial inter- 
ests of the city, was not attended by consequences 
of any serious nature. 



NEW YORK AS IT IS. 

After the rapid glance we have just cast on the 
early history of the Imperial City, let us look, for a 
moment, on the picture it presents at the present 
day. 

New York has undergone so many and important 



clianges as to astonish even the resident, in his com- 
parison of what she was, at a very recent period, 
with what she is now, in 1866. 

After the hurried sketch given above, what visi- 
tor will not be astounded, on surveying the Broad- 
way of to-day, with its double line of palatial build- 
ings, all devoted to commerce ; its magnificent pave- 
ment ; the busy crowds that hurry along its spacious 
sidewalks ; and the numberless vehicles, public and 
private, that hourly thread their way throughout 
its entire length. 

Manhattan Island, on which, as has already been 
stated, the city is built, is divided by survey into 
141,486 lots, some 80,000 of which are at present 
built upon. The following are the limits of the 
island : On the North, Harlem river ; on the East, 
the East river, which connects the bay with Long 
Island Sound; on the West, the North river (or, as 
it is also called, the Hudson, in commemoration of 
Henry Hudson, its discoverer), which separates the 
State of New York from the State of New Jersey; 
and on the South, the celebrated Bay of New York, 
which, if it be rivalled, is not surpassed in beauty of 
scenery or in accommodations for shipping, by any 
other in the world. The lower part of the island, 
or "down tow-n," is now chiefly occupied by com- 
mercial houses, the architectural magnificence and 
colossal proportions of many of which command the 
admiration of the visitor ; while the upper part, or 
"up town," is devoted to private residences, the 
splendid and spacious streets and avenues being 
closely studded with luxurious mansions, the majori- 
ty of which at once announce the fine taste and 
opulence of their owners, many of them costing 
$50,000'to $200,000 each, and not a few $1,000,000. 
But one of the most striking points of interest pre- 
sented to tlie stranger in New York is, beyond all 
doubt, its magnificent churches, which at present 
number about 350, of all denominations. The pa- 
latial appearance and dimensions of the larger num- 
ber of our hotels are eurely of att imposing aa- 



8 

tnre. The Louvre hotel, in Paris, wonld give bnt 
a faint idea of these caravansaries, in which the 
traveller finds everything essential to his comfort 
and convenience, in the widest acceptation of the 
term. JSTor are the stately public edifices of our 
city less worthy the attention of the stranger. The 
monumental dimensions of the U. S. Treasury build- 
ing and the Custom House are in thorough keep- 
ing with the mercantile importance of this London 
of the West, in which are concentrated one half of 
the whole commercial transactions of the entire 
Union with all nations. The port or bay of New 
York, the aggregate of whose waters represents the 
enormous mass of 3,170,122,000 cubic yards, is cer- 
tainly one of the finest and most spacious in the 
world. 

The distribution of the lower part of the city is 
generally irregular, and many of the streets are 
very tortuous; but up town, on the contrary, the 
distribution is extremely regular, the avenues and 
streets bisecting each other at right angles. The 
avenues are each 100 feet wide, the distance be- 
tween them being 800 feet; and the cross streets, 
60 feet, except 14th, 23d, 34th, etc., which are each 
100 feet wide. There are now rather more than. 
200 miles of paved streets in the city, the pavement 
most generally being cobble-stone, though for some 
years past the square block, or Belgian pavement, 
has been extensively employed, and iron, though 
with unsatisfactory results, in one or two streets 
down town. 

The rapid extension of the limits of New York 
City, especially since the beginning of the present 
century, has contributed to the formation of some 
of the fabulous fortunes of our wealthy citizens, by 
the enormous increase in the value of real estate, 
which, in every direction, and chiefly in the lower 
part of the city, has advanced tenfold, in an incred- 
ibly short space of time. The enhancement of rents 
must follow, as a natural consequence ; and the 
rents of buildings in and about Wall street havo 



9 

risen to a point beyond all belief. The aggregate 
rent of the white marble building on the corner of 
Nassau and Cedar streets is said to amount to 
$250,000 per annum. Brokers' offices range from 
$2,000 to $4,000 a year ; hence, it is no strange 
thing to see six or more desks huddled together 
within the limits of a single basement. Trinity 
Building, in Broadway, by the side of the church 
of the same name, is, considering its cost, the most 
profitable rental in the known world: finished in 
1852, at a cost of $200,000, it then brought a rent 
of $30,000, and since that time the rate has gradu- 
ally advanced, the aggregate rent-roll being now 
$175,000. Trinity Building is now principally oc- 
cupied by Pennsylvania coal-mining companies, and 
a second-class office commands $1,000. The yearly 
amount of coal transactions, in this building alone, 
is estimated at 2,000,000 tons. 

So much for the general view of the Empire City, 
"We must now point out to the stranger the various 
points of interest in the metropolis, one by one, so 
as to save him much useless expenditure of time 
and exertion. 



PUBLIC BUILDINGS. 



THE CITY HALL, 



Situated in a park of an area of ten acres, is an ele- 
gant building, of the Italian style. Its dimensions 
are 216 by 105 feet, and three stories high. The

THE TOMBS. 

Such is the vulgar name of the Halls of Justice, or 
City Prison, which forms, in a series of massive 
buildings, of the Egyptian style, a square bounded

usual branches of knowledge, — instructing them, at 
the same time, in the several departments of trade. 

THE HOUSE OF INDUSTEY, 

Situated in the Five Point'^, presents one of the 
leading features of benevolent institutions in this 
country. Through its wholesome influence, under 
the zealous conduct of the Kev. Mr. Pease, much 
has been done in the course of a very few years 
towards morally and materially ameliorating the 
conditim of that once squalid den of crime. 

There are, besides the above, several other insti- 
tutions well worthy the attention of the stranger. 
The following are the most important : 

Emigrant Refuge and Hospital, Ward's Island

the 5th to the 8th Avenues, a width of about | of a mile, thus 
covering an area of no less thau 843 acres; buch are the form 
and limits of the Central Park. From a bleak, uncultivated 
waste it has, in the short lapse of ten years, been converted, ag 
if by enchantment, Into one of the most beauti ul pleasure 
grounds to be found in any part of the America' continent ; 
indeed but a few years more and it shall be equal in magnifi- 
cence to the finest of European parks. 

Thanks to the skilful distribution of the groun 's, the park 
offers some 10 miles of solid macadamized carriage oad, called 
the "Drive," about 6 miles of suitably finished -idle-road, 
called the " Ride," and, lastly, an extent of no less U \n 27 miles 
of gravelled walk for the exclusive use of pedestnans ; and 
all so ingeniously arranged, by means of handsome ridges and 
arched passages, that it never becomes necessary f • a person 
on foot to cross the surface of the horseman's ti ck or the 
carriage-road, nor the horseman to intrude on the car -age-roads, 
though he is at liberty to ride upon them if he pref . Besides 
the foregoing, the park is crossed by four roads called tho 
" transverse roads," intended for the convenience )f outside 
traffic between the eastern and western sides of th( city ; and 
they are feo disposed as not only not to incommode ne visitor, 
but to be almost entirely hidden from his view by th trees and 
shrubbery. The bridges and archways are extrem ly numer- 
ous ; and many of them are really remarkable for thei • architec- 
tural beauty, their never-ending variety of tasto and d sign, a"-''i 
their picturesque appearance and eftect. The lakes "esen' 
charming aspect to the eye ; and the gondolas, and the umb 
less swans which, during the fine season, glide along tl surft 
lend to the whole a peculiarly romantic air. Th veari 
promenader finds along his paths a large number of sha ' arbc . 
furnished with rustic seats for his repose ; and at the ' 'asinc, 
a handsome little structure near theJ Mall, an ample ppl ' of 
delicious viands and refreshing beverages are availa' ) at all 
hours, to satisfy the wants of the outward man. Pre rauf ca' 
entertainments are given at tho " Pavilion," on the Mv 1, everj 
Saturday afternoon during the season The Mall is J c a mile 
long, by about 200 feet wide, and it is the principal pre enade 
of fashion. In its vicinity are several objects of interest to the 
visitor ; amongst them we shall name the Terrace, the Vine- 
covered Walk, the Marble Arch, the Ramble, the Menagerie, the 
Green and, south of the latter, the grand Playground. 

Near the 8th Avenue entrance is a statue of Commerce, 
recently presented to the park by Mr. Guion. 

The Park is open at the following hours : March, April, May, 
June, October and November, from 6 a. m. till 9 p. m. ; July, 
August and September, from 5 a. m. till 11 p. m., and December, 
January and February, from 9 a. m. till 8 p. m. During the 
skating season it is open until midnight. 

The Park may be reached by the cars of the 6th, 7th, or 8th 
Avenue railroad, and also ^y those of the Central Park, North 
and East River r,,ilroads. The principal entrances at the south 
end are those of the 5th, 6tb, 7th and 8th Avenues, those of the 
5th and 8th being for carriages, the other two for pedestrians 
only.
